The Atlanta Braves traded Nick Anderson to the Kansas City Royals for cash. Anderson, a right-handed reliever, had a 3.06 ERA with 35 appearances before landing on the 60-day IL due to a shoulder strain. The Yankees had shown interest in Anderson both last offseason and recently. Additionally, the Braves also traded Kyle Wright to the Royals, who won't be available until 2025 due to shoulder surgery, as part of their efforts to clear payroll space. The trades between the Braves and Royals involved a total of three pitchers, including a 21-game winner and a former first-round pick.

#Braves traded RH Nick Anderson to K.C. for cash, source confirms. Would've been likely non-tender at Friday deadline, after pitching well -- 3.06 ERA, 35 app (36 K, 9 BB, 35 1/3 IP) -- before landing on 60-day IL in July (shoulder strain). Didn't return. ATL has 7 sure relievers
